I had no idea they made more than the first Wing Commander movie. And it starred Hamill? I must track this down.

You ... missed some of the games. That particular pic is from Wing Commander III, but there's full-motion video with Mark Hamill all the way up to V. Some are better than others, but IV has Malcolm Mcdowell, too.

To be fair, I do remember being incredibly disappointed in Wing Commander IV. After playing Quake, I had really high hopes for graphical improvements that didn't materialize. It felt like the gameplay had taken a big back seat to the FMV.

Lots of games of the era were sunk after going too far down the "multimedia" whole. Star Control III, for example. *sniffle*
